Description

We now see in the album view the description of an album, and we can also edit that value.

AlbumSharedUserSelectionPage - I couldn't find where this page is used there is also some logic about album title where we maybe have to add the description

For feature request #9372

How Has This Been Tested?

Scenario 1

  • Open the album tab; check if existing album have a description
  • If have an existing description, edit it; if not check if the message add description is present
  • Click on the description to edit the description

Scenario 2

  • Create a new album
  • Check if the add description is present
  • Add a description and check if it's there via web or in the app

Scenario 3

  • Create a new album and add a description
  • Assign someone else
  • Check if that person can edit the description (should not be able)

Scenario 4

  • Create a new album
  • Don't add a description
  • Should still create the album
